Some pointed out that the news had not been carried on any major French network, indicating that it was a fake report, as the death of an author of Alain Soral's stature would be major news across networks.

A recent poll conducted for the Celebrity Post shows that a large majority (77%) of respondents think those Alain Soral death rumors are not funny anymore.
